More gifts and a trip to Freeport…

"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach."
-Anne Spencer

 

Since James wanted a kids party this year, we weren’t able to have a family party on the same weekend.  We had a few visitors the following weekend though, starting with Grandma who brought over a few presents and something to organize all his small collectibles that he seems to be such a fan of.

 

Pepa also came over for breakfast and James was excited to open his very own scooter.  No more riding around on the princess scooters for James!

With the long weekend we decided it would be fun take to take the kids down to Freeport to see all the family.  It was a long trip, not without its challenges, but we made it.  The kids immediately took over Aunt Elaine and Uncle Leo’s house.  Swings and trees were not safe from the kids, but luckily nothing was permanently hurt from all the craziness.

It wouldn’t be a trip to Freeport without going to the beach, so the next morning after arriving we piled all the kids in the van and made the journey to the ocean.  Isla was a little nervous about the waves, but Ashlyn and James jumped right in.  We couldn’t keep James out of the water, in fact more often than not we were running out to bring him back closer to shore.  They had an amazing time, and it made the road trip more than worth it.

Tune in next week for part 2…
